Buy my stepfather's ghost' read the e-mail. So Jude did. He bought it, in the shape of the dead man's suit, delivered in a heart-shaped box, because he wanted it: because his fans ate up that kind of story. It was perfect for his collection: the genuine skulls and the bones, the real honest-to-God snuff movie, the occult books and all the rest of the paraphanalia that goes along with his kind of hard/goth rock. But the rest of his collection doesn't make the house feel cold. The bones don't make the dogs bark; the movie doesn't make Jude feel as if he's being watched. And none of the artefacts bring a vengeful old ghost with black scribbles over his eyes out of the shadows to chase Jude out of his home, and make him run for his life . . .

The novel starts off well, and it gets really, really spooky and looks like it's going to have a good payoff. However, as the number of pages read grows larger and then larger than the number of pages left, it becomes more and more apparent that Joe had more a story than an ending and that he, like his dad has often done over the decades, suddenly realized that he only had a comparative very few pages to actually wrap the story up. So he did it, and it was unsatisfying, deeply. It really had what it takes to be a really good, really dark but poignant horror story with a conclusion that made the reader think about the speed of life, behavior, unintended consequences, and how we only have experience after we already needed it, but nope. -- It's well-written and really atmospheric, and it's also far too long and has a carelessly meh ending.
This is Joe Hill's debut novel from 2007.
Simply put, it's one of the best ghost stories I've ever read.

Unique, terrifying
With a quick-paced plot and sympathetic characters, this is a ghost story for today's reader, about a burned out rock musician and the groupie who loves him...and a very angry ghost from his past.
I loved it, and couldn't put it down.
